conducted on exactly the same basis
as the regular one at Wake Forest.
Students and faculties of all three in
stitutions. .Meredith, Wake Forest, and
Mars Hill, have hailed the plan with
a great deal of enthusiasm.
liiiiig Felt >(‘etl
There has been a long felt need,
states i’rofessor Tyner of the .Meredith
Kducatlon Department, for advanced
academic work In the western part of
the state. "There arc few people'' he
said, ‘‘who realize that there Is not a
single college in North Carolina west
of t’harlotte wblcii offers a full four
year liberal arts course.” The change
In tbe location of tlie summer school
will afford an opportunity for courses
In higher education for those who
would ordinarily be unable to secure
tliem. The location of Mars Hill, whlcli
is riglit in the heart of the Blue Hidge
Mountains, wilt also be an advantage
which is expected to draw a great
many students.
New Courses Ol'lVred
The .same courses, with perhaps
some new ones, which are generally
offered at the Wake Forest Summer
School, will be given, li'ecause of in
creased facilities, It is thought that
t'ourses in Home Economics, physical
education, music and the like, will be
inaugurated.
